RIP :(

nomorecommas··on Ask HN: Do you upvote bad posts so that more people read your criticism?
You are not alone. Isn't it strange how systematized interactions have counterintuitive effects on the outcomes of those interactions?

Be that as it may, I've long been skeptical of claims that gamified soc-nets allow important information to rise to the top. From what I can observe these systems seem to split singular loosely-aligned large groups into many cultural silos of mutual reinforcement.

Why do you imagine governments or YouTube might want to do that?

nomorecommas··on Easily handle CLI operation via Python instead of regular Bash programs
Very cool, though I probably won't use it.
nomorecommas··on Ask HN: Why must there be war?
Because the regime demands it. I believe it should be possible to live without wars. That makes me a member of a small and shrinking minority.

I'm okay with a ban if you don't want me here.
nomorecommas··on Reddit finally blocked me, completely... I was trying to get off of it anyways..

nomorecommas··on Tell HN: Reddit was showing “Blocked” when accessed with Firefox
There's a lot of useful information contained within Reddit, not just memes, celebrity worship, and porn. I'd like to see decentralized alternatives flourish.

Until proven otherwise, assume every socmed account is a bot.

I haven't yet found any reason to hate systemd. If I ever do I'll be happy to have options.
nomorecommas··on Ask HN: Do you have/show empathy for people that don't seem to have empathy?
> The ability to identify with or understand another's situation or feelings: synonym: pity.

On the internet: Of course not. It's impossible.

IRL: Mostly not, with few exceptions.

What about anti mandate argument? How do you propose mandates be enforced?
nomorecommas··on Unvaccinated Quebecers will have to pay a health tax
> Do you really, really want to start taxing people and dictating behavior based on their medical expense?

That's the cost of a public health system. The public health system becomes the dictator.

nomorecommas··on How Soon Will Covid Be “Normal”?
Doesn't matter. There will always be something to fear.
nomorecommas··on Systemd, 10 years later (2020)
Pretty much. Wish I could say the same for pulseaudio.
nomorecommas··on Ask HN: What is a good resource to learn Lisp in 2022?
clisp is a popular implementation of Common Lisp. Many of us also appreciate sbcl, Lispworks, and others. I can't say much about Clojure, other than it's not a Common Lisp implementation.

nomorecommas··on Ask HN: What is a good resource to learn Lisp in 2022?
I guess some use it for AI and machine learning, but those fields are outside my interests. You can do anything in Lisp which could be done in languages like C, C++, Java, Python, etc.

The title is incomprehensible to me. The page itself won't load in my browser. Possibly net problems, or a bad cert.

Too bad about Linus. They don't make them like that anymore.
nomorecommas··on Customers shun red meat after carbon footprint added to weekly shop receipts
If it's true that red meat sales are dropping then I'd expect prices to follow. That'd be very good news for me. Yum!
